My Precious

Kittens are funny creatures.

They make you melt with their angelic eyes, and act all innocent and adorable.

The truth is, they really are lovely. That is, until they grow up to become cats.



I added a wee bit of fish-eye effect in this picture. Kinda reminds me of Smeagol from LOTR (google it if you have no idea what I'm talking about).

I think it's pretty obvious that I'm more of a dog person.

New Life

As the swine flu slowly rears its ugly head to claim lives all over the land, it makes me stop and think - life is so beautiful yet vulnerable at the same time.



Just like a new born baby barely days in this world; so magical, yet so fragile.

Picture of Tranquility

I'd never thought I'd fall in love with such a quiet quaint little town.



But I did. And until now, it remains a haven in my heart.

Not just because of its beauty, but the beautiful memories it secretly holds for me.

That's San Francisco for you.

The Glam Factor

Here's something to jazz up your boring and mundane Monday.

Bringing luxury brands to a whole new level...



Gucci has never looked more glam.

It's A Long Long Journey

The journey may be long
But I know I can get through
Because all I ever need
Is just you.



Tweaked the colours a bit because I'm in a nostalgic mood, looking at my USA pictures.

I think I need another holiday. -sulks-

Munch

Live to eat...

... or eat to live?




Skyla says, "Just eat lah!"

The Stare

He's quiet, gentle and rather silly at times so it's hard to believe that underneath that sweet demure face is a dominant don't-fuck-around-with-me character.



To understand the language of dogs is to read the signs of their bodies. Because dogs never lie.

Where Are You Now

It is pictures like this that make me want to reach out to touch her.
To feel her coarse fur running through my fingers again.
To see her look up into my eyes with a silly grin.
To see her stumpy tail wag at the slightest things.



We lived a good part of our lives without knowing them. Yet, when they come and go, it's like we'd never lived life before them.

The Army

The defence has been breached.



Fight or flight?

Bald Is Beautiful

Perfect features, a pretty face
Dainty smile, so full of grace
But look beyond this facade
And true beauty you'd embrace

If a good portrait shot should bring out someone's personality, then this would be Skyla's personal best.



Bold, wacky and hilarious. That's my Skyla for you.

Same Shit Different Day

I have just the perfect picture to describe your mood on a dreaded Monday.



SHITTY!


Yes, I'm feeling the blues too. =(

Swirls & Twirls

Here's a funky looking plant to celebrate a delightful Sunday with you.



Why do we live amongst Mother Nature all our lives, yet not know the names of her creations?

Nothing Voodoo About It

Today's post is specially for a dear pal who has been so kind and nice to encourage me, despite my mediocre dolly potrait skills.



An old favourite of mine. Hope you like it too. =)

Lion City

In a bustling city full of eatery temptations from all over the world, how do you make your Chinese restaurant scream out to ang moh tourists?



Behold a generous sprinkle of local cheena flavour.

Sugar & Spice

Who'd have guessed that beneath that babelicious face is a crazy girl full of silly antics?



Don't judge a book by its cover nor a doll by her looks.

Pink Is In

I saw my favourite pinky plant again!

And I still have no idea what's it called. ><

Hope this cheers up your day somewhat. =)

Elizardbeth

It just crossed my mind that Elizardbeth is a pretty name for this little creature.

Except I'm not a pro in this species, but I'm guessing this is not a female.



Nonetheless, since my darling girl just got back from Korea today, here's my welcome back pressie for her since she LOVES lizards. ^^

Serenity

Yet another work week lies ahead. But instead of mourning the loss of another precious weekend, lets look forward to the beauty of yet another new day.



Life is so beautiful.

(Now if only my photos can depict that beauty too......*sigh*)

A Warm Welcome

Stumbling across a non-descript, ulu and general junkyard of a place, the last thing you'd expect is a warm, loving welcome.



Dogs - the world will be a cold place without them.

Toy Story

I love the UFO machine with its lure of limited edition toys.



For those in the know, these toys have a higher resale value compared to other soft toys.

For me though, it's the story behind each and every one of my UFO toys which makes them so precious .

Light Of Happiness

Because it's a public holiday.

Because it's easter.

Because the sun is bright and shining.



Here's a light of happiness to share with you.

Skyla In Love

What happens when my crazy girl falls in love?

She goes from bollywood.....



... to dollywood.

Someone's been watching too much Vasantham Central at home.

My City

It occurred to me some time back that as much as this blog is named Qi In The City, there are very little pictures here that actually reflect city life. -sheepish look-

So here's one to justify my blog name.



I still find the greens of nature a much prettier sight. ><

Follow The Light

I wonder if Heaven's lights are just as beautiful and funky. ^.^



Otherwise, someone should update them that white light days are so over. Coloured lights are the new 'in' now baby!

Steady As The Beating Drum

Trust music to put a smile on a person's face.



Believe it - good things in life are free.

The Emperor

Yellow was a very sacred colour in ancient China, often used to represent the Emperor.

Did modern times altered this significance at all?



Not really.

The Emperor of my heart still struts around in this joyful colour.

Set Of Sun

Some weeks ago, I headed back to the nostalgic town where I grew up.



Not my best, but I certainly miss this place.

Body Artist

Paint my love... for body decor.



The literal sense of suffering artists obviously do not apply to tattoo artists. ^^

Zen

We spend so much time of our lives doing the same mundane things day in, day out. Wake up, work, go home, sleep. It's no wonder we don't have the time nor energy to open our eyes to the simple beauty of nature.



Yes yes. I'm such a noob at abstract-wannabe shots. ^^

Life's Good

Because SOME jokers punked me into an April's Fool joke, I've decided that this photo is rather apt for today.



To the two monkeys, here's a REAL stray dog for you!
